Gen. Isaac S. CatIin, one of the
Republican leaders of Brooklyn, and
formerly district attorney of Kings
county, has written letter formally
announcing his withdrawal from the
Republican party and making appli-
| cation for admission to membership
in one of the Democratic associations
of Brooklyn. He says he has for
some time been disgusted with the
blunders and follies of the Republi-
can party. 1t is freely admitted in
Brooklyn that Gen. Catlin's detection
will be serious loss to the Rupubli-
can party and a gain to the Deinoc-
racy. He was brave soldier during
the war, and is prominent and pop
ular member of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and has a personal fol-
lowing second to no man in Kings
county.

of Knoxville, Tenn, also held meet
ing, at. which the sentiment was
unanimous in favor of making sub
scription of $500, 900 to the proposed
road, provided Knoxville is made a
point on the line. A number of Ten
nessee counties have already made
subscriptions to the road, and other
counties will vote in the next ten
days. In the meantime the eDgi-
neers' corps, both in Virginia and
